New Chelsea signing Kai Havertz (£8.4m) continued his solid if unspectacular individual start to Premier League life in Gameweek 4 with an assist (his second in as many league games) in Chelsea's 4-0 rout of Crystal Palace. The match also saw teammate Christian Pulisic (£8.3m) come onto the pitch as a substitute for his first taste of Premier League action this season, having been sidelined through injury.
Chelsea welcome Southampton to Stamford Bridge in Gameweek 5, where Pulisic will be hoping to make his first Premier League start this season. 'Captain America' was one of the most impressive players in the league last season post lockdown and Pulisic finished the campaign with nine goals and eight assists. His price has significantly dropped this season so far due to injury and he could prove a golden differential going forward. That potential, along with his cheaper price sees us gamble and plump for the American star over Havertz, with the German midfielder perhaps needing a little more time to adjust to life in the top tier of English football before he can be considered as a strong FPL option at £8.4m.
Verdict: Christian Pulisic
